Through a growing number of staff and in-house expertise and the introduction of new and improved services, we\u2019ve continuously worked to improve our client\u2019s campaigns, bringing innovation and modern technology into the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, we\u2019ve earned our fair share of accolades for the hard work, across awards and accreditations, and even the odd league table or two. From our first award in 2010 to our most recent nomination, here\u2019s a history of our awards over the years.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, you can take a look at <a href=\"\/ae\/case-studies\/\">our case studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3248 size-full\" src=\"\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/An-Award-Winning-Decade-With-Absolute-Digital-Media-02_Timeline-01.jpg\" alt=\"awards won 2010 to 2015\" width=\"821\" height=\"1481\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From our very first award in April 2010, where we were awarded for being a Top Performer by TopSEOs, to our win at the RAR Digital Awards in 2014 and our following nominations over the following year, we hit the ground running during our first years in the digital landscape. We were listed in The Drum\u2019s Recommended Agency Register, won the UK\u2019s Best Search Agency at the RAR Digital Awards 2014, became finalists at The European Search Awards 2015 and went on to secure another finalist position at the RAR Digital Awards 2015.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3249 size-full\" src=\"\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/An-Award-Winning-Decade-With-Absolute-Digital-Media-02_Timeline-02.jpg\" alt=\"awards won 2017 to 2018\" width=\"821\" height=\"1481\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We went on to secure another finalist position at April 2017 at the UK Biddable Media Awards, swiftly followed by another finalist position at the RAR Digital Awards 2017 in May. The success of the year didn\u2019t end there, however, as we went on to be shortlisted at The UK Agency Awards 2017. February of 2018 brought us earn our place as finalists at UK Biddable Media Awards 2018, and then in March, we secured another finalist position at the European Search Awards 2018 for our work with Wizzcash.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3250 size-full\" src=\"\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/An-Award-Winning-Decade-With-Absolute-Digital-Media-02_Timeline-03.jpg\" alt=\"awards won May 2018 to November 2018\" width=\"821\" height=\"1481\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>May 2018 continued our success when we secured the finalist position in the Finance Content Campaign Of The Year award in the UK Content Awards 2018. Then, shortly after in July, we went on to make the shortlist for the UK Agency Awards 2018. September brought us even more success, this time with a win! We took home the award for Digital Agency Of The Year for Essex at the UK Southern Business Awards 2018 and just a month later, even secured #25 on the Wirehive 100! In November, we secured another trophy, this time at the UK Search Awards, for our work with Uncle Buck.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3254 size-full\" src=\"\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/An-Award-Winning-Decade-With-Absolute-Digital-Media-02_Timeline-04-1.jpg\" alt=\"Awards won March 2019 to July 2019\" width=\"821\" height=\"1702\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Following our win at the UK Search Awards 2018, we started 2019 on strong footing yet again. After our rebrand in January, we went on to secure a finalist position at the UK Biddable Media Awards 2019 for our work with The National Childbirth Trust and took home a win in the same month! The win was for The Drum Search Awards, where we were once again celebrated for our work with Uncle Buck.<\/p>\n<p>The European Search Awards finalists were announced in April, where we were shortlisted for four different categories and in May, we even secured a position at the UK Digital Growth Awards. June brought around the finalist announcements for the Prolific London Awards 2019 and we were thrilled to secure yet another finalist position here, too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3252 size-full\" src=\"\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/An-Award-Winning-Decade-With-Absolute-Digital-Media-02_Timeline-05.jpg\" alt=\"awards won August 2019 to November 202\" width=\"821\" height=\"1702\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After a successful summer we were keen to continue the streak of our award nominations throughout the winter, too.
